I see in the post admin there is a place for post order, but that doesn’t seem to do anything. I have the home page setup to display by categories so that’s not a problem, I just need to change which posts are displayed (aka the top 10 for some sections, first 5 etc.) not based on post date. * you can see the site at [http://www.carteghermez.net/wp](http://www.carteghermez.net/wp) * [pshah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pshah/) * (@pshah) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-admin-management-xtended-post-order/#post-1432229) * Hi, * The post order does not work for me. * I want to cahgner tyhe default order (latest post at the top) to the oldest post at the top. * Please suggest me a fix for this. * I have installed the admin-management-plugin but the post order does not seem to work for me. * [wpseek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alphawolf/) * (@alphawolf) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-admin-management-xtended-post-order/#post-1432230) * You don’t need a plugin for that.

Just not via drag’n’drop, that’s only possible for pages atm. * In order to make custom posts order work, you have to change the post loop in your template. Per default, posts are ordered from newest to oldest. * Just have a look at the link you posted on how to change your template. * [thekjub9](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thekjub9/) * (@thekjub9) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-admin-management-xtended-post-order/#post-1432245) * so on the WP between 13000plugins is not 1 that alows you to “easily” chandge post order ? without code editing or reading 1000 words about what to do ??? … I saw one in joomla and I understod it in 0.5s !!!! just pres up and down and gues what … that’s it … no template editing changing nothing * its so easy to make in admin manager plugin one click publish/unpublish but to tell go one up in the post order …you have to go crazy * I just dont understand that … there are 100form plugins but not a one like this * [wpseek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alphawolf/) * (@alphawolf) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-admin-management-xtended-post-order/#post-1432246) * Well, you probably misunderstand something. The plugin provides the possibility already. * However, WordPress is based on themes/templates that you have to edit a little bit in order to reflect the post order changes. That’s it. * More than that, you probably don’t get that while WP is a CMS as well, it is basically a blog software. That implies having posts ordered from newest to oldest by default.
